MARSHLAND……FILM OF THE WEEK
Spain | 105 minutes | Drama, Thriller
Director: Alberto Rodríguez (Grupo 7)
Cast: Javier Gutiérrez, Raúl Arévalo, María Varod, Perico Cervantes, Jesús Ortiz, Jesús Carroza, Salva Reina, Antonio de la Torre
Two homicide detectives, who appear to be poles apart, must settle their differences and bring the murderer to justice before more young women lose their lives.

HOT PURSUIT
USA | 87 minutes | Comedy
Director: Anne Fletcher (The Guilt Trip, The Proposal, 27 Dresses)
Cast: Reese Witherspoon, Sofía Vergara, Michael Mosley, Jodi Lyn Brockton, John Carroll Lynch, Richard T. Jones
An uptight and by-the-book cop tries to protect the outgoing widow of a drug boss, as they race through Texas pursued by crooked cops and murderous gunmen.
Definitely not for me, but fans of Fletcher’s other work should get some laughs.
Distributor: Roadshow Films

JURASSIC WORLD
USA | 124 minutes | Action, Sci-Fi
Director: Colin Trevorrow (Safety Not Guaranteed)
Cast: Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Vincent D’Onofrio, Jake Johnson, Nick Robinson, Ty Simpkins, BD Wong, Irrfan Khan, Brian Tee, Omar Sy
Twenty-two years after the events of Jurassic Park, Isla Nublar now features a fully functioning dinosaur theme park, Jurassic World, as originally envisioned by John Hammond. After 10 years of operation and visitor rates declining, in order to fulfill a corporate mandate, a new attraction is created to re-spark visitor’s interest, which backfires horribly.
The promo has left me lukewarm, but I’m hoping the film will be raptorous – yes, I went there!
Distributor: Universal Pictures
